This one is especially fun on windows 11 home. At least it was some time ago on some machine i worked on. Since home doesn't have the bitlocker settings fully you cannot disable bitlocker encryption. It would also auto enable sometimes even if you don't have a microsoft account, which means it doesn't back the key up anywhere. Not sure it does that anymore, i hope not, but i expect a lot of people to lose their data to this crap in the future.

In either case at least i find that full disk encryption on most machines is just overkill as it only really protects in the scenario the device is stolen and someone tries to pull data off of it that way. But in the vast majority of cases when people get their data stolen its done with malware, which disk encryption does /nothing/ to prevent.

As far as i know most MMOs don't run heavy anti cheat stuff as they are built to not trust the clients so i suspect a lot will work fine.

Some i know work perfectly fine are:

Guild wars 2, both through lutris and proton. Back when i originally swapped to linux i had some issues getting the commonly used dps meter (arcdps) to work with proton. It requires some optional features to be enabled to allow direct x overlay windows etc. Worked first try through lutris though and ive been playing the game on and off for the past year through that without issues.

The Elder Scrolls Online, works perfectly fine through proton. You can even get the standard addon manager (minion) working through standard wine and just point it at the right folder for addons to work. A few that require running programs to update stuff will be fiddly though. (Like tamriel trade centre)

Final fantasy XIV has an unofficial launcher (XIVlauncher) you can snag up on the flathub that makes installing and running the game easy. I have not played the steam version, but i imagine it works as well.

Warframe works fine through steam, but its barely an MMO.

Second life works fine with the common viewer, firestorm, having a native linux version.

Hey, at least it told you. When i was fiddling to get disney plus working on my own setup it just refused to play until i changed the reported OS to windows. Nothing else was changed. I really have no idea why they would go out of their way to block specific operating systems.

I could see this working for either running cooling and such for refrigerated cargo or if they stick a battery in the trailer. In the latter case it would be possible to just charge it for free while the trailer sits in a lot somewhere. Then when the truck comes they plug in the battery and use the stored up power.

Speciellt inte då de tydligen bara hade laddat ner någon app som hade använts för krypterad chatt vid ett kuppförsök i turkiet.

Its been working fine for me over the past year or so since i swapped to linux myself. The launcher looks buggy at times but thats about it. Specifically it will get stuck on "searching for updates" or somesuch while its actually updating. Just leave it to run and it will work as normal anyway.

During my own testing i got the best results with proton 8 and running the game in DX11 mode but DX12 also works. As for a distro i can recommend garuda linux, it was relatively painless to get everything working on that. Their Dr460nized gaming edition comes with a lot of handy stuff preinstalled, which i found useful for just learning about stuff when i first swapped.

I too use Garuda. Running it on both my gaming desktop and my laptop, works really well on both.

Infinite salvage kits, black lion salvage kit, the position rewinder and a lounge pass. Also all the various tomes with teleport scrolls. Still got a lv80 boost stuck in one slot as well.

I can say garuda linux (KDE Dragonized gaming edition) myself if you want to give that a shot. I did swap from windows 11 to that after some testing with other distros it was the one that felt like it just worked out of the box. Unless the game you want to play runs some form of anticheat it will typically work.

I did also get CnC3 working on it through steam/proton. As for how fiddly it is to get games running. If you own them on steam you pretty much just need to go into the properties and flip them over to use whatever the latest proton version is and install as normal. Modding will take a few more steps when it comes to skyrim etc but i havent really tried going into that too heavily myself. Unfortunately the vortex mod manager pretty much explodes if you try to use it on linux so you end up having to install mods manually but there is a mod manager that may do the trick "Mod organizer 2" but I've never used it.

. . . I use Garuda BTW

I don't think it would change the age of the universe as measured from the inside since with slower time a year also ends up being longer. From an outside perspective it would be older though.

I found it fun for a while but the amount of grind and repetition got on my nerves. Duviri does look very good and actually exploring it was quite fun as well. I did grind it pretty hard and got everything i wanted out of it apart from incarnon adapters. So basically i enjoyed it until i got the stuff i wanted outside of the steel path at which point it turned into a complete chore.

I really hate the random gear myself. While its usually fine for normal mode, all the worthwhile stuff is locked behind the steel path circuit. Being stuck with random gear in that is terrible enough, but the entire game mode is also dull as all hell. Can't even trade for the adapters as they are untradable for some reason. So this new direction with weekly crap at steel path levels is what finally made me drop the entire game. At least for the time being.

I've logged on a few times but i look around and all there is to do where i actually go towards something i want is either nightwave, archon hunts, khal (worst gamemode in the game) or steel path circuit. The only one i would consider fun is the nightwave stuff since there i can play the way i want.
